1 O ra, saiu Israel ã batalha contra os filisteus, e acampou-se perto de Ebenézer; e os filisteus se acamparam junto a Afeque.

¶ And Samuel spoke unto all Israel. Now at that time Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle and pitched their camp beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines pitched theirs in Aphek.

2 E os filisteus se dispuseram em ordem de batalha contra Israel; e, travada a peleja, Israel foi ferido diante dos filisteus, que mataram no campo cerca de quatro mil homens do exército.

And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel; and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines, who slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.

3 Q uando o povo voltou ao arraial, disseram os anciãos de Israel: Por que nos feriu o Senhor hoje diante dos filisteus? Tragamos para nós de Siló a arca do pacto do Senhor, para que ela venha para o meio de nós, e nos livre da mão de nossos inimigos.

And when the people returned into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why has the LORD smitten us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us that when it comes among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.

4 E nviou, pois, o povo a Siló, e trouxeram de lá a arca do pacto do Senhor dos exércitos, que se assenta sobre os querubins; e os dois filhos de Eli, Hofni e Finéias, estavam ali com a arca do pacto de Deus.

So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of the hosts, who dwells between the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

5 Q uando a arca do pacto do Senhor chegou ao arraial, prorrompeu todo o Israel em grandes gritos, de modo que a terra vibrou.

And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with such a great shout that the earth trembled.

6 E os filisteus, ouvindo o som da gritaria, disseram: Que quer dizer esta grande vozearia no arraial dos hebreus? Quando souberam que a arca do Senhor havia chegado ao arraial,

And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What great shout of joy is this in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp.

7 o s filisteus se atemorizaram; e diziam: Os deuses vieram ao arraial. Diziam mais: Ai de nós! porque nunca antes sucedeu tal coisa.

And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God has come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! For yesterday and day before yesterday it was not so.

8 A i de nós! quem nos livrará da mão destes deuses possantes? Estes são os deuses que feriram aos egípcios com toda sorte de pragas no deserto.

Woe unto us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.

9 E sforçai-vos, e portai-vos varonilmente, ó filisteus, para que porventura não venhais a ser escravos dos hebreus, como eles o foram vossos; portai-vos varonilmente e pelejai.

Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye not serve the Hebrews as they have served you; quit yourselves like men and fight.

10 E ntão pelejaram os filisteus, e Israel foi derrotado, fugindo cada um para a sua tenda; e houve mui grande matança, pois caíram de Israel trinta mil homens de infantaria.

¶ And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled each one into his tent, and there was a very great slaughter, for thirty thousand footmen of Israel fell.

11 T ambém foi tomada a arca de Deus, e os dois filhos de Eli, Hofni e Finéias, foram mortos.

And the ark of God was taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.

12 E ntão um homem de Benjamim, correndo do campo de batalha chegou no mesmo dia a Siló, com as vestes rasgadas e terra sobre a cabeça.

¶ And running out of the battle, a man of Benjamin came to Shiloh that same day with his clothes rent and with earth upon his head.

13 A o chegar ele, estava Eli sentado numa cadeira ao pé do caminho vigiando, porquanto o seu coração estava tremendo pela arca de Deus. E quando aquele homem chegou e anunciou isto na cidade, a cidade toda prorrompeu em lamentações.

And when he came, behold Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and gave the news, all the city cried out.

14 E Eli, ouvindo a voz do lamento, perguntou: Que quer dizer este alvoroço? Então o homem, apressando-se, chegou e o anunciou a Eli.

And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What is the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily and told Eli.

15 O ra, Eli tinha noventa e oito anos; e os seus olhos haviam cegado, de modo que já não podia ver.

Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes had become dim so that he could not see.

16 E disse aquele homem a Eli: Estou vindo do campo de batalha, donde fugi hoje mesmo. Perguntou Eli: Que foi que sucedeu, meu filho?

And the man said unto Eli, I come from the battle; I fled today out of the army. And he said unto him, What has happened, my son?

17 E ntão respondeu o que trazia as novas, e disse: Israel fugiu de diante dos filisteus, e houve grande matança entre o povo; além disto, também teus dois filhos, Hofni e Finéias, são mortos, e a arca de Deus é tomada.

And the messenger answered and said, Israel fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God was taken.

18 Q uando ele fez menção da arca de Deus, Eli caiu da cadeira para trás, junto ã porta, e quebrou-se-lhe o pescoço, e morreu, porquanto era homem velho e pesado. Ele tinha julgado a Israel quarenta anos.

And it came to pass when he made mention of the ark of God, Eli fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an old man and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

19 E estando sua nora, a mulher de Finéias, grávida e próxima ao parto, e ouvindo estas novas, de que a arca de Deus era tomada, e de que seu sogro e seu marido eram mortos, encurvou-se e deu ã luz, porquanto as dores lhe sobrevieram.

¶ And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas’s wife, was with child, near to be delivered, and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed, for her pains had come upon her.

20 E , na hora em que ia morrendo, disseram as mulheres que estavam com ela: Não temas, pois tiveste um filho. Ela, porém, não respondeu, nem deu atenção a isto.

And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not, for thou hast given birth to a son. But she did not answer, neither did she regard it.

21 E chamou ao menino de Icabô, dizendo: De Israel se foi a glória! Porque fora tomada a arca de Deus, e por causa de seu sogro e de seu marido.

And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel! (Because the ark of God was taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.)

22 E disse: De Israel se foi a glória, pois é tomada a arca de Deus.

Therefore, she said, The glory is departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken.
